This book was an easy read, and funny, sad, and thoughtful. I liked the honesty of the characters
Despite the fact that the book is about teenagers with cancer, it reminded me of the time I spent with my mother when she was dying. Severe illness affects your view on the world and changes what you think is important and what is not. In some ways your world becomes smaller as day-to-day living becomes so hard for the patient but their impending death also emphasizes the good things about life.
Interesting that as I read this book I identified with Hazel despite the fact that I have children her age. It would probably have been painful to read the book if I had identified with the parents.

A story about what it is like to die and to live with cancer.
Such amazing writing and a laugh out loud, tear jerker story
There’s no way to explain how this book made me feel and there’s no way i could ever forget it. The fault in our stars isn’t a love story neither is it a sad one nor a happy one. It’s all that and everything in between
I loved it very much and the message was delivered in the typical John Green way, buried amongst humour. He is a great writer, I just wish I could meddle with tragedy and humour.
One thing which I was mad at as I was half away was that 'This is going to end like An Imperial Affliction' halfway and incomplete because Hazel will die.
Thank God that was not the case.
Augustus Waters was such a nice character and too bad he died (sorry Hazel, don't be mad at me). Just noticed the irony that Augustus god rid of his fear like for sufficient time (more than Hazel and he thought). He feared oblivion and now he would always be alive in this novel and will be resurrected at the beginning for every new reader even when he has like died for all of us who have read it.
A thought provoking novel which gives deep insights as to how a person 'fighting' (Sorry again Hazel) Cancer feels and functions. Very emotional: touched my

I love this more and more, each time I read it. I can't wait for the movie!
It wasn't the tearjerker I expected it to be but it was filled with thought provoking conversations and internal dialogue. The characters were a little too pretentious and quirky to be believable but their eccentricity was why I enjoyed the book. It made sense that they were philosophical and "mature" since death was a subject they dealt with every day. I wouldn't say it was the best book ever but I breezed through it and some of the lines really stuck with me.
Incredibly addictive read. Touch sardonic and brutally honest. Nuff said.
